The Russian proposal itself is realistically impossible. Disarming chemical weapons is difficult during the best of times. Disarming them during a civil war is close to impossible. Does anyone seriously believe that Assad intends to give up his chemical weapons stockpile? More likely, he will offer a couple barrels to demonstrate his sincerity and the Obama regime will point at them to proclaim victory. Only those with some understanding of international relations will know better. That, of course, includes every foreign government and the Syrian people, none of whom is naive enough to believe that Assad will give up all of his chemical weapons and every one of them will know that despite the Obama regime's condemnations using the strongest terms in the English language, the Assad regime will remain in place.
